I just recently made these and will be displaying them in the community promoting our Valentine's Special thought I would show you a peak, don't u just want to squeeze both of them!Stay tuned for more on our special and our big announcement!!

Grandpa went home to be with the Lord yesterday

I hope everyone understands that I will not be in the office until next tuesday, my grandpa went to be with the Lord yesterday. We are putting together a memorial service to be held this sunday. Thank you to all who have prayed for myself and my family, I myself can honestly feel the prayers, please continue to pray for my grandmother and my family some more than others are having a really hard time with it. I will be ready to finally get back into the swing of things once all of this is past, I do look forward to seeing many relatives from far and near this sunday, isn't it sad how we stay so busy with our lifes that really this is the only time families get together.

I leave with you pictures of my grandpa and my nephew Wyatt it looks like he is starring right at Wyatt, but he has been blind for many years, I am so glad I had my camera that day to be able to have these for Wyatt when he grows up!

God Bless each and everyone of you!

Session before Christmas

Here is just a few from this session.... I just love the ones with mom and daughter and brother and sister! We had taken this family from Spiceland pictures at their home this fall and then they came back for some indoor portraits and I am glad they did!

Came all the way to see me from Kentucky... what an honor!!

I LOVE this picture!! When she went over and hid her face I was like click, doesn't it make u think one... one thousand.... two one thousand..... ready or not here I come! She was to sweet!!

It's a New Year!! Lots going on....

First I wanted to say sorry to all my faithful blog followers, I took some much needed time off and away from the studio and it felt great! I am now all rested and getting everything ready to switch over to the name change.... but thru all of this my grandpa has been in the hospital and is not doing very well, he is now is hospice basically they are keeping him as comfortable as they can until he passes.... I am emotionally and mentally just drained.... he no longer can eat or drink anything because it goes straight into his lungs... and the hospital wanted to do a feeding tube but he had said if it ever came to that that he DID NOT want that. Please pray for myself and my family especially my grandmother. So I just wanted to apologize to anyone who has been trying to get ahold of me I have been trying to do catch up on all phone calls and emails. I wanted to post the winner of my big give away it went to Amy Russell her co worker janna nominated her!After reading all the entries this one stuck out the most to me a devoted mother to a sick child, I somewhat could relate to her situation because I have a sister who has a sick child and I know the daily struggles they go thru from medication to finances so myself and John was very happy that she won it and can't wait to take their family portrait!!
